🧠 Understanding the Pedagogical Value of Minimum Time
Scroll speed is not an indicator of reading. A learner can reach the bottom of a page in a few seconds without having absorbed its content. The minimum viewing time introduces a simple but effective constraint: the learner cannot move forward until they have spent a minimum amount of time on the granule.
This is particularly useful for dense content, critical procedures, or regulated training courses where tracking time spent is important.
⚙️ What Can Be Configured
In the content editor, on each granule (informational or exercise), you can define a minimum time in minutes and seconds. This value takes priority over project-level settings.
💡 This feature allows you to encourage learners to read a granule's content carefully. By setting a minimum reading time, the learner must wait until the countdown ends before they can move on to the next granule.
Although it is not possible to make a granule mandatory, adding a minimum time is the best alternative currently available to encourage engagement with specific content.
👀 What Does the Learner See?
Informational granule: the "Continue" button remains inactive until the time has elapsed, even if the learner has already scrolled through all the content.
Exercise granule: completion of the granule is delayed until the time has elapsed, even if the learner submitted their answers beforehand.
